Induced fit interanion discrimination by binding-induced excimer formation

The synthesis, photophysical, and anion-binding properties of a series of di-, tri-, and tetrapodal anion-binding hosts based on aminopyridinium units with pyrenyl reporter groups are described. The ditopic mesitylene-derived calix[4]arene-based host 4 binds strongly to dicarboxylates, particularly...
